Homemade Rou Jia Mo Recipe [Video Tutorial]361

Rou Jia Mo, also known as Chinese Hamburger or Pork Bun, is a popular street food in China. It is a classic combination of savory, juicy pork filling and a soft, puffy bun that's perfect for a quick and satisfying meal. While it might seem intimidating to make at home, this step-by-step video tutorial will guide you through the entire process, from making the filling to assembling the final dish.

Ingredients for the Pork Filling:* 1 pound (450g) pork shoulder, cut into cubes
* 2 tablespoons soy sauce
* 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
* 1 tablespoon honey
* 1 teaspoon ground cumin
* 1 teaspoon five-spice powder
* 1 tablespoon cornstarch
* 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
* 1/2 cup chopped green onions

Ingredients for the Buns:* 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
* 1 cup (240ml) warm water
* 1 teaspoon instant yeast
* 1 teaspoon sugar
* 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions for the Pork Filling:1. In a bowl, combine the pork cubes with the soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, honey, cumin, five-spice powder, and cornstarch. Mix well to coat the pork evenly.
2. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pork and cook until browned on all sides.
3. Reduce the heat to low and add the green onions. Cook until softened, about 2 minutes.

Instructions for the Buns:1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, warm water, yeast, sugar, and vegetable oil. Stir until a dough forms.
2. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
3. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Assembly:1. Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air.
2. Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces.
3. Roll out each piece into a circle about 1/4-inch thick.
4. Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Brush with oil and cook the buns for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and puffy.
5. To assemble the Rou Jia Mo, slice the buns open and fill with the pork filling. Serve immediately.
